      I imagine the German response here is to be annoyed that they’ve worked very hard to be able to do this without telefax, indeed without paper at all, and it’s still not considered good enough by the peanut gallery.

          Is it though? If messages are working over the link that would be their definition of working.

            The messages might be working right now, but the security (and, therefore, the stability and longevity) is broken.
